As I've said earlier, we have seen an uptick in traffic in the Strait, and it's something that we are monitoring minute by minute, hour by hour as the days go on.

Were those reports just as of a few minutes ago?

Yeah.

Okay, so obviously I'll have to go back and check with the national security team.

I'm standing out here with all of you, but I will do that and we will get you an answer, okay?

Danny.

Sure.

Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire.

That has been relayed to all parties involved in the ceasefire.

As you know, Prime Minister Netanyahu put out a statement last night in support of the ceasefire, in support of the United States' efforts.

And he's also assured the president they'll continue to be a helpful partner throughout the course of the next two weeks.

Thank you for being here, Shane.

Gabe.

Well, with respect to the first reporting out of Iranian state media, the president was made aware of those reports before I came to the podium.

That is completely unacceptable.

And again, this is a case of what they're saying publicly is different privately.

We have seen an uptick of traffic in the Strait today.

And I will reiterate the president's expectation and demand that the Strait of Hormuz is reopened immediately

quickly and safely.

That is his expectation.
